Archbishop Chapelle High School

    ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE HIGH SCHOOL, 8800 Veterans Blvd., Metairie – At Archbishop Chapelle High School, “Deus Providebit” (“God will provide”) is more than a motto, it is a way of life. We believe that God will provide, so we provide our girls with the opportunities to learn and grow into their own individual success stories in a community of love and faith.
    Since its establishment, Archbishop Chapelle High School has become a model of academic excellence and innovation, earning recognition as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education three times. In addition, Today’s Catholic Teacher Magazine named Chapelle one of the “25 Most Innovative Catholic Schools in the Country.”
    Chapelle’s trend-setting educational program attracts students from all over the New Orleans metropolitan area, northshore and river parishes, but what keeps students connected is Chapelle’s warm, welcoming atmosphere and fervent school spirit.
    Archbishop Chapelle High School’s top priority is the religious education and spiritual development of its students. Through religion classes, liturgies, class-level retreats and various campus ministry programs, Chapelle’s students are challenged to deepen their faith, advance in the wisdom and truths of Catholicism, and witness Catholicity in virtuous behavior.
    Chapelle’s campus ministry program encourages student leadership and empowers students to reach out to their classmates, their church parishes and members of the metropolitan community regarding faith formation and acts of community service.
    Archbishop Chapelle High School offers students an academically challenging, college preparatory curriculum that is rich in its use of technology and attuned to each student’s educational needs.
    Chapelle’s academic program is based on the Catholic philosophy of education, the requirements of the Louisiana State Department of Education, the general entrance requirements of colleges and universities and the TOPS program. An impressive academic course of studies includes a wide variety of electives, honors and AP courses.
    Through the school’s exciting 1-to-1 computing initiative, each student receives an iPad2 for her use during her five years at Chapelle. The iPad2 is a product that inspires creativity and encourages hands-on learning with features that are not available elsewhere. The iPad2 provides the means to integrate technology into the curriculum and enhance classroom learning. The device encourages students and faculty to communicate their best thinking with an exciting and innovative approach.
    From math lessons to vocabulary flash cards to anatomy visualizers, there are apps for every subject and every level of instruction. Apps help to personalize instruction, address varieties of learning styles and create highly interactive classrooms. In addition, iBooks are currently being used in geometry, chemistry and environmental science classes and eBooks in religion. Knowledge and a familiarity with technology enable our students to succeed in the world today, to become the leaders of tomorrow as they learn to compete in the ever-growing global, information-based economy. The iPad2 has transformed the learning process, giving our students the freedom to learn wherever and whenever they want.
    Chapelle’s faculty members are dedicated and talented professionals who embrace the opportunity to educate the young minds entrusted to them. In addition to qualified educators, Chapelle also employs a team of guidance counselors committed to helping their students cope with the ups and downs of the teenage years.
